I only know my own experience. I had a longstanding nodule that tripled in size relatively quickly to 1.5 centimeter. I had to wait six weeks for a biopsy. I had an ultrasound performed in order to locate the nodule and it was gone. It's very, very weird (especially with what I was expecting). The doctor was very surprised but it obviously happens.

Why is benign thyroid disease so important to treat?
A benign thyroid condition is important to treat because it can still impact the overall health and function of the thyroid gland. There might also be a root cause as to why there is the benign condition. As long as a goiter, thyroid nodule, or thyroid adenoma are benign, not growing or causing symptoms such as a cough or difficulty to swallow or breathe, it will be monitored through diagnostic testing and ultrasounds.
Can thyroid nodules cause thyroid to not work well?
A thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland. Any time a lump is discovered in thyroid tissue, the possibility for cancer needs to be considered. Fortunately, the vast majority of thyroid nodules tend to be benign.
What is a benign fatty and yellowish nodule?
A benign fatty yellowish nodule is called a tumor.
Is a 9 mm nodule on your thyroid dangerous?
A 9 mm nodule on the thyroid is not necessarily dangerous, as many thyroid nodules are benign. However, the risk of malignancy increases with size and certain characteristics of the nodule. It's important to undergo further evaluation, such as a fine needle aspiration biopsy or ultrasound, to determine the nature of the nodule and whether any treatment is necessary. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
What is a thyroid nodule?
it means: nodule-a rounded lump or knot; heterogeneous means "composed of unlike parts. Therefore a rounded lump composed of dissimilar tissues on the thyroid (gland) located in the base of throat region. may or may not require medical attention.
WHAT IS COMPLEX SOLID NODULE IN THYROID?
A complex solid nodule in the thyroid is a type of thyroid nodule that contains both solid and cystic (fluid-filled) components. These nodules can vary in size and may be benign or malignant. Evaluation typically involves ultrasound imaging and, if necessary, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy to determine their nature and guide treatment options. Regular monitoring may be recommended, especially if the nodule exhibits suspicious features.
Who nodule is more dangerous hot nodule or cold nodule?
Only a doctor can order the tests to determine if any thyroid nodule is dangerous. A thyroid uptake scan will help your doctor determine if your thyroid is hot (active) or cold (inactive).
What does no central calcification mean with a thyriod nodule?
No central calcification in a thyroid nodule typically indicates a lower likelihood of malignancy. Calcifications in thyroid nodules can vary in appearance, and the absence of central calcification suggests that the nodule may be benign. However, further evaluation, such as ultrasound or biopsy, may be necessary to determine the nature of the nodule definitively. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized assessment and recommendations.
What does complex nodule mean?
Thyroid cysts are nodules filled with fluid. They can be small or large. If a nodule has both solid and fluid parts, it is called a complex nodule, and need to be removed if they cause pain or difficulty when swallowing.
What does it mean if a thyroid nodule is vascular?
There's blood supply inside of it not just leading to it
How large is 1.1cm X 0.7cm x0.7cm solid nodule on the left Thyroid lobe?
A solid nodule measuring 1.1 cm x 0.7 cm x 0.7 cm in the left thyroid lobe is approximately 0.5 cubic centimeters in volume. This size is relatively small for a thyroid nodule, and while many nodules are benign, further evaluation, such as imaging or a biopsy, may be needed to determine its nature. Regular monitoring may also be recommended based on the specific characteristics of the nodule.
What does a hypoechoic nodule in soft tissues mean?
A thyroid nodule is simply a mass in your thyroid. Hyperechoic is a term used in ultrasound which determines how bright or dark the nodule is. Ultrasound is all black, white, and gray scales, so a hyperechoic nodule would be a mass in the thyroid that is BRIGHTER than the rest of the thyroid tissue.
